Wow! Looks amazing! I want to do the same thing like you.. How much did your exhaust cost? Did you have to cut the spare out?

I like the grille painted black, with the rings left silver/chrome.

I'm not sure I'm into the exhaust, but how does it sound? (Drones at highway speed? Or not?)

What year is it?

And why did you get it for free?

Exhaust sound really really good! It has a bit of a drone but you get used to it pretty quickly.

Its a 2000

The guy that was selling it had problems with the engine. It was smoking from the tail pipes and he freaked out cause there where no educated mechanics in the area... And the tranny was in limp mode... He was asking $1500 for about 2-3 months and no interest. I called and asked him a few questions and asked what was the lowest he could go price wise he said $1000. I than told him that I would call ny mechanic to see what he thought it might be... Mechanic said that it was a really good deal so I called the guy back and he didn't answer. He than called me back in a few min and said "Pasha if u want the car u can co.e pick it up for free tonight" I asked if there was any reason for that and he said "well I went to the scrap yard and they said that they wouldn't give me more than $300 for it and Ilove the car so I much rather see her back on the road than smashed to ****". So I went and picked her up right away!

What did you end up doing to resolve the smoking tailpipes and trans in limp mode?
